You might have heard of green burial sites or maybe not, as most people don’t think about funeral related issues until it’s absolutely necessary.
Spanish designer Martin Azua has created an eco-solution to help people leave this world in a greener way. Reintroducing the human being to the natural circle of life, returning to nature, the Bios Urn is a biodegradable urn made from coconut shell, compacted peat and cellulose. Inside it contains the seed of a tree, so that once planted – with the remains of the person who has departed – the seed begins to grow.
As with the more traditional gravestones, you have the choice to pick the type of plant you would like to become.
